Common sense doesn't begin explain quantum physics or almost anything in life beyond simple machines and situations.

Actually, I was saying just the opposite: In evolution, common sense and scientific evidence complement and support each other. I was just suggesting that if the evidence alone can't convince someone, they should also consider their common sense.
For me, both provide overwhelming proof of evolution. It is more than a belief for me. It is enough for me to not waste my time questioning it and to move on to other unexplored territories. What I do believe, is that people who still have a problem with evolution and claim there is not enough evidence, may really have other issues or agendas. Maybe not. Either way, I "believe" they are wasting their time.
